Milly Grace is one of the UK’s fastest-growing jewellery brands, loved for our distinctive, high-quality waterproof pieces designed for women who never want to take their jewellery off, because jewellery should be as ready for real life as the women who wear it.
As we enter our most ambitious growth phase yet, our priority remains exactly where it started: our community. We believe that every customer deserves an experience as high-quality as the jewellery they wear. We are looking for a Customer Experience Lead who is obsessed with delivering that standard and who wants to be the ultimate advocate for our customers as we grow.
The Role
This is a pivotal hire for Milly Grace. You will be the first person dedicated entirely to our customer journey. You will own the inbox and the systems behind it. This is a truly 'hands-on' role, you’ll be the one personally delivering a gold-standard response to our community every day, while simultaneously building the workflows to make that experience more efficient as we grow.
We are looking for a resilient, highly organised specialist who wants to make a visible, meaningful difference to the experience of our customers. You won’t just be answering tickets; you will be architecting the systems, standards, and fulfilment coordination that ensure our community remains at the heart of everything we do.
What You Will Own
1. The Gold Standard of Care
* Total Channel Ownership: Own our voice across Email, Live Chat, Instagram, and TikTok. You will ensure every interaction feels human, empathetic, and perfectly brand-aligned.
* KPI Excellence: You will take full responsibility for the health of our customer service. This means hitting and exceeding targets for CSAT (Customer Satisfaction), First Response Time (FRT), and Resolution Rate.
* Resilient Problem Solving: You will stay calm and effective during high-volume launch periods, taking full ownership of complex queries and turning challenges into brand advocate moments.
2. Systems & Human-Centric Efficiency
* Helpdesk Architecture: Take full ownership of Gorgias. You will optimise our workflows, using smart macros and AI-assisted tools to remove heavy admin, giving you more time for human conversation.
* The Voice of the Customer: You will be the primary link between our community and the brand. You will use data and feedback to identify trends and propose solutions that improve our website, products, and processes for the customer.
3. Fulfilment & Journey Coordination
* The Logistics Bridge: Act as the primary link between our customers and our fulfillment partners. You will proactively investigate shipping discrepancies and ensure the physical journey of our jewellery matches the quality of the pieces themselves.
* Journey Ownership: From order confirmation to unboxing, you will ensure every step is seamless.
Who You Are
* Experienced: You have 2+ years of dedicated experience in e-commerce customer experience (Shopify and Gorgias experience is essential).
* You are highly organised and thrive on ownership. You don't just follow a process; you look for ways to make it better for the end user.
* Resilient: You enjoy the fast-paced nature of a scaling brand. You are a solution-finder who stays focused, positive, and empathetic.
* Passionately Human: You understand that waterproof jewellery for real life means being there for our customers during their real-life moments.
What We Offer
* £30,000 - £35,000 base salary + performance incentives
* The opportunity to architect and lead the customer journey for a growing brand
* A high-autonomy environment where your systems and ideas lead the way.
* Directly collaborate with the brand's leadership and see first-hand what it takes to build a brand from the inside.
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
* We work in our Leeds studio as a team 2+ days a week (typically Mondays and Thursdays).
Note: This is a hybrid role based in Leeds. We are seeking a dedicated team member, not remote workers, freelancers, or agencies.
